Compact GUI:
If the source data (posts) are available, there is a lot of freedom to transform the data.
Procedure:
- Load discourse data on local computer (via discourse-reader).
- Transform discourse data (via Go templates and dagote).
- Display the transformed data in the browser.
Concept:
- Via Go template you define what should be displayed.
- Via CSS you define how something is displayed.
Ideally, the process steps are executed automatically via a script. The compact display shown above was achieved with 150 lines of template and CSS code each. JavaScript was omitted, but this leads to minor limitations.
